What do you think Purification means? People play fast and loose with the definition, somehow even more than corruption which is already bad. There's stuff where purification just means a character increasing in "moral" behavior, like kindness or chastity, and there's stuff where the emphasis is about holy magic, characters turning into angels, nuns, magical girls, and the like. There's a lot of overlap, but I think only the latter is the defining part of purification. There is a lot of stuff where a character does get "purified" but ends up acting sluttier or is enslaved by the one who purified her, which always feels wrong. Lots of stuff that's just princessification, stepfordization, or another ordinary role or faction change also gets tagged purification just because the character is "evil" in the source material too, and I can't stand that. You wouldn't tag something corruption because it shows a heroic character becoming a normal civilian.

I don't know. My thoughts are muddy on it. Post more examples of purification so I can figure this out.
